Re: Help: oracle space problem. Error code:ORA-01652

Mary,
The tablespace you use for temporary segments is probably still to small. After increasing the tablespace the query creates more extents in the temporary tablespace, but not enough. The size of every next extent will increase, that's why it askes for bigger and bigger extents. If the tablespace is used for temporary segments only, i would enlarge the tablespace again, or if possible, recreate it in one extent. If you use a tablespace that also includes data (temporary tablespaces are usually empty)
i would create a tablespace TEMP, and assign it to your user-ID : alter user mary temporary tablespace temp;

good luck,
Wouter
